- Well, well, doesn't someone sound disappointed.
And what's with that look?
- I dunno. We completed our mission and all,
[cdb]but it still feels like we lost somehow.

- Sure, we stopped Lonato, and we put Jeralt and his
[cdb]mercenaries to rout.

- And most of all, I failed to take down the Ashen
Demon.

- If that's not a loss, I don't know what is.
- If that's not a loss, I don't know what is.
- Wrong! You were hired to do a job and you did it.
- And in the process, you've received a valuable
[cdb]reminder about the unique danger the Ashen
Demon poses.
- Don't deny it.
- Try to deny it.
- You're right. I can't believe one fighter could turn
[cdb]the tide of an entire battle like that.
- You're right. I can't believe one fighter could turn
[cdb]the tide of an entire battle like that.
- Precisely. They're surely going to continue standing
[cdb]in our way, so do try to dig a little deeper the next
[cdb]time you square off.
- "Unique danger"? Not sure I'd go that far.
- "Unique danger"? Not sure I'd go that far.
- Then how far would you go, hm? If a mercenary who
[cdb]can turn the tide of battle in the blink of an eye isn't
[cdb]a singular threat, then who is?
- No matter what you think, they'll surely continue to
[cdb]stand in our way. Do try to dig a little deeper next
[cdb]time you square off.
- Yeah, you're probably right. Thanks for the chat.
- Yeah, you're probably right. Thanks for the chat.
- By the by, have you seen our valiant leader?

- Sounds like you should try to track them down, then.
Though on second thought, it may not be any of
[cdb]your business.
- Go look for them.
- Stay put.
- I probably shouldn't be sticking my nose into their
[cdb]private matters, but I am pretty curious. Let's go.

- What a touching show of camaraderie. In that case,
[cdb]we should get some rest. There are plenty more
[cdb]battles ahead of us.
